You will probably have to use a chisel to cut through the welds holding the tips on.
I recommend Corsa Hot Tips, but they are expensive (~$129). Here is a picture of them installed on a 1998:

Well worth the money. They look great. That's exactly what I want. Thank you for the picture of your beautiful C5.

NO C5 Corvette came stock with big round tips...The 97-99 came with ugly black tips...the 2000-2004 came with the small oval Cadillac "wimp tips"...

The Corsa Hot Tips are now up to $149, ZIP sells them, here is a link:

Thses are heavy duty stainless steel polished tips that look like chrome. They hold up very well, mine are 5 years old and look new.
I am not sure how they would fit a 2001-2004 without the chrome oval tips? Look inside your tips, you probably have the same "ends" as a 1997-2000 exhaust, I bet they just welded the chrome tips over these.
